What is microlearning?

Microlearning is small learning units with highly focused learning outcomes. It involves 3-5 minutes of targeted learning experience.

Why microlearning?

Microlearning is becoming more relevant in an ever-changing world. Microlearning allows us to focus 3-5 minutes each day on targeted learning. The benefits include:

Small but consistent commitment
Learn by doing
Action and embed today and every day
Continual improvement

When we undertake a multi-day course, it’s like drinking from the firehose. There is a lot that we don’t remember and we are not able to start actioning all the learnings straight away. We still need to review the course at a later date.
